Thanks! Nordstrom's was the only place I saw it and I really thought it was unique.

I really need to get a padlock soon ;)

I love the black and gold one, but I think I wan't it with some kind of twist/extra detail. The pocket padlock wasn't really for me, but the croc embossed one was a favourite. And now I your combination also fits in my list of favourite padlocks :)
 
So my black padlock was sent back today. It arrived with out the keys on the leather strip. 4 left when I ordered and I got the dud!!! Anyway they said they would locate it and send but I decided after comparing it to my croc one that I didn't need two huge bags that were the same and I already have a few black bags including an Antigona which is similar size. So I made the decision to send it back and got a mini studded heroine instead which I will receive next week.
I did decide I was going to stop buying the exact same bag in different colours all the time so the keys being left off caused me to reconsider which is a good thing!

Sorry to hear about the keys, but nice to have a studded heroine instead when you already have the padlock bag before.

Well, technically your second padlock was not in a different color - it was the same color :P
 
I have the croc in Bordeaux and the one I sent back was the black in normal leather so they we different colours as well as leathers :) But same colour as the mini heroine yes. I am not sure if the heroine will be too small but I'm keen to check it out!
But I don't have the time to follow up to find the keys and really, I know I don't need it as much as I wanted it.

Sorry, I thought you were the one who bought the large croc in black haha. So many bags here in this forum :)

And I almost count different leather as different color since the appearance differs a lot ;)
 
Don't think there are any authenticators here. The most I can do is compare pictures of your clutch with my De Manta clutch, but I am definitely not an expert.


Ah, well that explains why my "authenticate McQueen" search came up empty in tPF. 🙂

The clutch isn't a De Manta, although I would like one some day, it's my holy grail...the Cathedral clutch. I know there were a limited number made and I think this one is legit, but was hoping for a second opinion.

The Cathedral Clutch!?! OMG, I am very jealous now :D

And I just don't know why I thought you had a de manta clutch, I must had been tired when I read your post and my brain thought you had the same kind of clutch as I haha.

Did you get it? Inquiring minds want to know. :graucho:

Yup! I sure did. [emoji3][emoji3]

I have 14 days to return it if I want, and the only thing I can't decide about is whether the wear to the brass is something I can live with... 🤔 I emailed AMQ in the UK to see what their care recommendations are and if it's possible to lightly buff out the scratches without damaging the bag. We will see what they say.
